If my representatives fought this proposal, calling them does no good.
So how do we find out if our reps approved of it? Those are the reps that need to be replaced. I feel like there’s no easy way to find out whether my reps approved of a prop
Since 2015 or so…
I understand the issue. It’s clear. What I don’t understand is this article focusing on Ocasio-Cortez’s “by the light of day” comment.
Are people watching these proceedings live on C-Span with their hand on the phone ready to call their congressperson’s office? If Republicans pushed this through “during the light of day,” would it make any actual difference? Why can’t congresspersons challenge this in the middle of the night? Does Ocasio-Cortez think Republican constituents will be making those calls to change the minds of their politicians? 🤔
Republican voters are way more engaged than Democrat or progressive voters. Any day of the week.
It’s why they have so much more content, content creators and social media presence. They put in the work. But not just put in the work. They target specific areas that are effective for either changing public opinion or applying pressure to government to get their issue across.
Meidas touch is catching up
Why aren’t they? It’s their medicaid benefits.
I think you are overestimating just how much constituents are invested in what their politicians actually do…
Many many many persons feel the side effects, the burn, of their elected politicians deviating from what they hoped. And yet each election cycle, these politicians continue to be voted in.
I mean, they get mad, but mad enough to watch C-Span and make calls…? 😅
I guess but it has been many years of them feeling the burn from their own party. Can’t tell if any of them are waking up or not.
It’s been a slow burn, like a frog in boiling water, with policies mostly affecting younger people. The Heritage Foundation came up with a detailed 50 year plan in 1973 to completely take over the country to make it more corporate and Christian, and we’ve been seeing that play out ever since Reagan.
Second Thought has a good video about them here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eeCPRD0Hgg
Honestly, they’re not.
I hate to say it, but the system needs to crash and burn for people to wake up. I need and want to avoid that at all costs, but some people… most people… don’t seem to be able to learn without it.
I believe you’re right, unfortunately.
This is classic language to pacify you, to make you think someone is out there speaking and a fighting on your behalf.
They’re literally attacking Medicare? Don’t worry AOC is putting the GOP in their place, she’s SLAMMING them and ripping them a new one!
